Paragon’s Migrate OS 5.0 is just what you need.

You can transfer a live system without affecting your work, and have your partitions automatically aligned without any extra work.

#### Paragon Migrate OS 5 key benefits

Windows migration from HDD to a smaller SSD

At launch, the wizard detects all existing Windows operating systems. Users then specify which OS they want to migrate. The wizard automatically picks one or two partitions (Windows 7 and above may have Microsoft System Reserved, special hidden partitions that contain critical boot files) and prompts the user to select a destination disk. If the selected disk is big enough to hold the operating system, it starts the migration. If not, it asks the user to exclude data by unchecking boxes next to unnecessary files or folders. When the proper size is reached, the migration begins.

Automatic Aligning

Misalignment increases the amount of read and write operations significantly. This causes a lowered HDD/SDD performance and a reduced SSD lifetime. Migrate OS will automatically align partitions on the destination disk, so you can start working with the migrated OS instantly and without worrying about alignement issues.

Migration from HDD to SSD

The intuitive wizard transfers a Windows system to another disk with minimal effort. All the user has to do after the migration is to configure the destination disk as the first boot device in BIOS, which automatically starts the new system.

Only One Step

Transfer Windows OS, applications and user data to a larger or smaller storage device in a single operation.
